Mama You Been On My Mind

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama you been on my mindI do not mean you trouble, don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleadin' or sayin' I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
Mama you been on my mindEven tho' my eyes are hazy
And my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind where you be wakin' up tomorrow
But mama you been on my mindI'm not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I've no place I'm calling you to go
I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Mama you been on my mind
